The coat of arms of Anguilla consists of the emblem found on the flag of Anguilla, a traditional symbol of the territory. The coat of arms consists of three dolphins leaping over the sea. The three dolphins are coloured orange and represent endurance, unity, and strength, and they leap in a circle for continuity. The badge has a white background, for peace and tranquility, with a turquoise-blue base representing the surrounding sea and also faith, youth and hope.

Of hen wives and of queer old men
Brace me and make me strong....”

My heart upon the loveliness
That has long faded from the world....”
